I used the Gmail app and that's what I set up for my employee on his phone. I think I already mentioned that I listed my business email as his recovery acct. I still have no clue as to why the alert came to the recovery account.

Maybe it will dawn on me what happened but for now I haven't seen anything fishy anywhere. Thanks for your help.

Try putting the phone in a furnace for 7 hours

When the Cards schedule comes out shortly I'm going to pick the games I'm coming over for. I'll let you know when and you better show up to Andy's tailgate.

I'll make you cry for your mommy..

I haven't gone to a game in years but if I do, I'm in.

Man, I love Cancun. Good for you!

As far as the gadget, you have to lick the buttons with numbers on them. Give it about 20 minutes and then just ride the high.

Yeah, we love Cancún too. I was bitter my wife booked the trip during the draft, but I'm over that now!

I spend my winter break in our family condo on Blvd. Kukulcan Km. 8.5.

No condo, but I use my timeshare at Westin Laguna Mar or Scottsdale for Cards games. I used to go to Kaanapali but the flight back is too brutal for me anymore.

Cancún is just as nice and so much easier.. Fewer Americans to deal with also, which I'm sure you can appreciate.

:D

I am not an engineer nor do I want to be!! I'm compulsively sucked in. Big Tech is trying to ruin our lives!

Have I mentioned that my Directv receiver won't stop dropping the internet connection!!

Not everyone is an engineer, nor wants to be, but smart home devices often compel us to be — and this increasingly complex domain of appliances is supposed to be superior to the simplicity of flicking a lightswitch on the wall.

Other than at March break, Americans are fine.

(A few too many Germans for my taste.)

My last name is not Kruger but it's very close to that. When they would ask for my name it doesn't exactly roll off the tongue of a Spanish speaker, I swear virtually every employee at the resort said 'ah, yo sé.. como Freddie Kruger, verdad?' lol

My name would suggest I'm German and my mother's maiden name is Snyder, but I've never done the ancestry thing so who knows.

Do the Ancestry thing, it can be fascinating.
